Still openings for Sarnia Sting tourney

There are only a few spots open for the annual Sarnia Sting Golf Tournament for Sunshine, presented by Bell and Labatt, July 24 at Huron Oaks Golf Club.

A number of current and former Sting players have confirmed their participation.

The list of players is headed by Steven Stamkos, who this past weekend was the first overall pick in the National Hockey League draft to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Also coming is former Sting star Trevor Letowski, now of the Carolina Hurricanes.

Letowski and Stamkos are both former Sting scoring champions as well as being the only two players in Sting history to have represented Canada at the World Junior Tournament and returned with gold medals.

Letowski helped Canada win gold in 1997 and Stamkos in 2008.

Letowski, a native of Thunder Bay, has played 616 games in the NHL, the highest total of any Sting alumni.
